Very unique concept and a love connection like no other. Imagine a group of fertile Earth women who find themselves abducted by aliens and then something goes awry, but an alien spaceship malfunction might just be the saving grace for these women.
Within a short time following the crash landing, while on a search for help, the main narrator of the story, Georgie, finds herself seduced by a huge blue horned, but intoxicating, alien named Vartek. Georgie is understandably conflicted by her attraction to Vartek, but she cannot deny his skilled intentions to protect and give her pleasure. So who knows… could this be the start of an out of this world love match?
Being the first book of the very lengthy Ice Planet Barbarians series, this short story does a really nice job of establishing the characters and world in which the story takes place. It’s fun and lighthearted, with lots of laugh out loud moments. In this book, Georgie and Vartek are the narrators and it works perfectly in helping the reader understand what’s happening and the getting the motivations of both main characters.
It’s racy, but even those parts are interlaced with lots of humor. Georgie is a likable and spunky character, behaving in a way that feels realistic, considering she’s dealing with only an only days-old alien abduction trauma. This book is a fun and fast read!
